게임 시장은 신기술과 함께 꾸준한 발전을 해왔다. 최근 NFT, 블록체인, 메타버스, XR, AI, P2E등 새로운 기술과 신개념이 홍수처럼 쏟아져 이슈가 되면서, 산업계와 학계는 자연스럽게 그 어느 때 보다 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만, P2E는 예전부터 유사한 형태로 존재해왔음에도 불구하고, 규제에 발목이 잡혀있으며, 유저들은 우회하는 방식을 통해 P2E게임을 플레이 하거나, P2E전용 게임이 아닌 게임에 대해서도 많은 현금거래를 하고 있다. P2E게임 규제 실효성과 플레이어들의 인식에 대해 연구하고자 하고자 한다.

With the development of blockchain technology, play-to-earn (P2E) games, one of the decentralized applications (dApps), are receiving great social attention. P2E games are positively evaluated as areas with high growth potential based on blockchain technology, and at the same time, they are negatively evaluated as speculative as people can cash P2E game items in the form of cryptocurrency. In this situation, the purpose of this study is to investigate factors affecting the intention to use P2E games. Along with the discussion of hedonic system adoption, we consider the factors with perceived enjoyment, economic incentive, and social influence. In order to verify our research model, data were collected from 350 adults with P2E game experience or recognition, and a structural equation model was carried out. The analysis results find that perceived enjoyment and subjective norm have a significant positive effect on the intention to use P2E games, and economic incentive does not have a significant effect. In addition, peer influence and external influence have a significant positive effect on subjective norm. Drawing on these findings, we present several academic and practical implications for future research.
